Kathy was plagued with dental problems from a young age and no quantity of brushing and flossing was going to help. As the problems became bigger and as teeth began to fall out, Kathy began to look for help. She researched the All-on-4 treatment and realized she didn't want to have healthy bone cut out of her mouth. Then she discovered the 3 on 6™ treatment from Smile Clinic. Kathy had a consultation with Dr. Logan Locke and then began treatment. This is her story.

gosh i just love ya girl... i went thru it already.. you will NOT regret it.. well i didnt get the 3 on 6.. i got all on 4.. which was the BEST decision i EVER made... cannot WAIT to follow you!!

@candymiddleton4046 Год назад

I'm scheduled to get the all on four next week and I'm sooo nervous!! Every video skips from surgery to a week later, but I want to see the progression from day to day for that week (or at least the first few days) so I can get a sense of how bad the swelling and pain is gonna be. Any tips or words of wisdom? 😁 I'm also scared about how much bone they will have to remove and how much it will affect the shape of my face. I know it's all gonna be worth it in the end...well at least I hope!! 🤞

@@veasnayong3456 I believe on the top end with grafting if needed you're looking at around 60 grand. They will have lenders that will loan the money the interest will obviously depend on your down payment and your credit score. I imagine being a specialized loan, be prepared to pay a higher than average interest rate.

@@SmileSystems3on6I used to shake and clench my fists in agony. As you say it’s mentally torturing too. So in three weeks and I go to Sofia to get my full top and bottom teeth ! Im so excited ! Im no longer in pain as I have been toothless for years and just one denture on top.. needless to say my diet is terrible and I look awful. All I’m dreading is the injections because they alone are horrendous for me but I am determined to not panic this time. I actually dreamt I had teeth last night and cried when I woke up.

@dianav.d.h.6956 Год назад

Thank you Kathy for sharing your full story. What a beautifull set of teeth you have now! My teeth look like yours before you had the procedure and that unfortunately after having had many many dental procedures done (root canal treatment in all my molars, 7 of them needed to be redone and afterwards I found the book "The root canal cover up" and the impact on our bodies......... Crowns on every molar..). Loads of money spent and if I had had the change to choose 3 on 6 I would have saved myself a lot of money and an enormous amount of pain (adding up all the procedures and yesterday removing a crowned molar with 2 huge inflammations in my lower jaw). And what have I ended up with now? Everytime another (rootcanal treated, well-filled till the roots-endings so according to the dentists 'perfectly filled and looking good') molar comes out due to breakage in the roots. Now I am missing so many molars that chewing has become a problem. You seem to know all about it and I am happy for you that all your dental-issues are over and you have ended up with a beautiful smile without pain. So up until now I had never heard of 3 on 6 (only from all-on-4 or all-on-6). Unfortunately it looks like here in the Netherlands no dentist has ever heard about it either (?). I called the ACTA today, the largest dental-school here, and a (nice) person over there told me that 'they' (I don't want to offend anyone or pointing in anyone's direction) never heard of 3 on 6! I can't even find a dentist in Europe yet!. Good luck to you (also like your traveling ;)). Greetings, Diana

@SmileSystems3on6 Год назад

This is a new and advanced treatment so doctors are still learning about it and adopting it. We don't currently have any 3 on 6 providers in Europe. You can see a list of providers at www.3on6.com/locations

@christopheroakes7182 Год назад

Hi Kathy, great video you look great, may I ask how painful were the follow up appointments and did you need numbing and did hurt much. thanks Chris

@SmileSystems3on6 Год назад

Kathy may not see this message, but hopefully we can help. For most people the follow-up appointments are totally pain free. Some patients have minor discomfort or anxiety and in those cases they can receive medication to help them feel more comfortable.

@bigdog5880 Год назад

How often do they need cleaning? And is it a special cleaning or regular dentist cleaning?

@SmileSystems3on6 Год назад

We recommend people maintain normal hygiene practices with their teeth, which include dental cleanings twice annually. One of the main benefits of the 3 on 6 over other options is that no parts have to be removed or replaced for cleanings. So it is the effectively the same as a regular dental cleaning.

@Myrussell67 23 дня назад

I am on morning 5 after my surgery for my uppers. I had 6 implants done and have a temporary upper installed. It’s more pain than I was expecting to be honest. With the 3 on 6 they have to suture your gums down to the temp which is painful. Lots of pokey things in my mouth. Gums are swollen and irritated. I know it will get better but just know the first few days/weeks WILL suck. Don’t let that stop you though. It will be worth it in the end.

@SmileSystems3on6 23 дня назад

We are sorry to hear that! But we promise it does get better, and it'll all be worth in in the end!

@Myrussell67 23 дня назад

Oh I get it 100% it’s just it gets glossed over. It will be worth it and pain is subjective. I am not complaining just informing that the first week or so will absolutely suck.

@Myrussell67 23 дня назад

Also the pain from the breathing tube is crazy after the first day. I have sores in my throat from it. It’s not all easy and good I am just saying. All these videos kind of gloss over the pain and healing part.

@regibrown8957 Год назад

Is there anywhere I can get a 3 on 6 in Texas? All the Dentists I talk to only do the All on Four with the synthetic gum line. Difficult to find Dentist in my area that are even familar with 3 on 6.

@SmileSystems3on6 Год назад

Unfortunately we don't yet have a provider in Texas. If you know some doctors there who may be interested in offering treatment you can refer them at www.3on6.com/refer-a-doctor Preserving bone and tissue with the 3 on 6™ concept takes more time and care to do and many doctors prefer to just do something that is easier (ie, cutting out bone and placing fake gums). For that reason, some doctors have been resistant to do it because it requires a greater degree of training and expertise. That said, we find more and more doctors every year are waking up to the harmful effects of cutting out the patient's healthy bone from their mouth.

@regibrown8957 I've been doing research for yrs about dentures, Implants & have been down the rabbit hole needless to say lol. But I seen ur comment & thought I'd recommend a YT channel that I've come across recently that may be helpful for u. It's called Dental Implant Center, Dr. McFadden based in Texas. His channel is full of GREAT info. I wish he had even more videos lol. I see your comment was 6mnths ago but incase your still researching I thought I'd pass on this great channel. Might just be the gem you've been looking for. Wishing u all the best 🙂

@hpress9444 Год назад

How long does the whole process teak from the beginning

@SmileSystems3on6 Год назад

It depends on the case. For some patients as little as 4 months. Other patients want to change small things or have second thoughts on color or shape and so it can take longer with redos.

This is the first I have heard that you have to be on a liquid diet for 6 weeks. It would be nice and helpful to know how much the 3 or 6 cost. I realize everyone is different but I would just like an idea of the cost

@SmileSystems3on6 5 месяцев назад

You do not have to be on a liquid diet for 6 weeks. Patients are on a "soft foods" diet during their healing phase which is typically 12-16 weeks. Here is a resource which discusses what patients can eat during their healing time after surgery: www.3on6.com/post/what-to-eat-with-temps-soft-food-diet

@SmileSystems3on6 5 месяцев назад

Medical insurance rarely contributes to dental treatment. They might help with some towards extractions, but it's very rare they will agree to pay for dental work. Most patients finance treatment for less than a car payment.

@stephaniesalva9036 5 месяцев назад

Why are you having pain for 5 days after the surgery. Dont they give you any pain meds?

@SmileSystems3on6 5 месяцев назад

When someone's mouth has decayed over many years, reconstructing that mouth requires a serious surgery. Patients are given prescriptions for pain. Some decide to not take them or stop taking them earlier to avoid side effects of pain meds. In general, if a patient doesn't want to be in pain after surgery, they don't have to be.

@arnedale2951 Месяц назад

I don't understand why so much people wants to have implants. I belive dentures are a much better and safer option. I am very happy with my removable dentures. And they are well made.

@SmileSystems3on6 Месяц назад

We are happy to hear that you're satisfied with your dentures. But it simply isn't a good option for everyone. Dentures require a significant amount of bone removal and cause continual bone loss in the long run. This often leads to a sunken face. Which, as you can imagine, may not be ideal for a younger candidate. Many of our patients who went from dentures to full-mouth implants have complained about dentures being uncomfortable and inconvenient. They didn't like the fit and feel of dentures, needing to constantly remove and glue them on, having slurred speech, not being able to comfortably bite into hard/crunchy foods, gagging, etc. Dentures are also made of cheaper materials that need to be replaced every 5-10 years. On the other hand, the 3 on 6 doesn't require bone removal and allows patients to keep their natural gum line for a more natural look. With implants, patients don't need to worry about them potentially falling off or needing to be re-glued like dentures. In addition, Implants are often made of zirconia and titanium, which if maintained properly, can last a lifetime. The maintenance is relatively easy - daily brushing and flossing and bi-annual cleanings, just like real teeth. That all being said, there's a reason more people are opting for implants.
